Calum Scott is not dating. The Biblical hitmaker is relatively open about his love life, sharing details about his dating experiences.
Following his breakthrough performance on Britain’s Got Talent, Scott said he’d been single for two years. “I’m single, which is good because I can concentrate the hell out of my performances,” Scott told Now Magazine. “At some point I’m going to want to find someone to chill out with at the end of the night and talk about things.”
Scott has tried dating, but his busy career prevents him from sustaining relationships. Scott told Attitude that he broke up with a partner due to his busy schedule. “I think because of my movement and the work that I’m doing, you’ve got to find someone who is understanding and it’s hard because people don’t know this industry from the outside,” Scott said.
Despite Scott’s assertion that he prefers dating people outside the industry, reports linked him with fellow artist Sam Smith. Scott told Daily Star that he and Smith were merely good friends. “We are just mates,” Scott said. “We stay in touch, texting and stuff like that. If we are in the same country we try and meet up but he is a jet-setter he is working hard on his album.”
Scott hopes to start a family soon, regardless of his relationship status. “I’m still single,” Scott told Guilty Pleasures in early 2023. “I’m still trying to find ‘the one’.” The singer said though he has an amazing career, he longs for a family. Scott continued:
“I’ve got this amazing career, and I hope to have it for the rest of my life, but what’s outside this job? I want to have my own family. I want to be able to do all that sort of stuff. This year I told myself I would look at surrogacy and what that looks like, and how to start my own family. Hopefully, as we go through this year, I’ll be sat making plans. I’ve always had a paternal instinct. I’ve always wanted to have kids.”
